Intergenerational Accounting and Saving in Australia

The Economic Record, 1996, vol. 72, issue 218, 236-245

Abstract: This paper generalizes the Kotlikqff type generational accounting notion of generational imbalance to include net private intergenerational transfers. The Kotlikqff identities are seen to be a subset of the overall intergenerational accounting identities. Simulations for Australia using the intergenerational accounting framework reveal a significant intergenerational imbalance to the detriment of future generations. This suggests current savings rates in Australia are inadequate to permit intergenerational balance.
